What are the fees for buying a prescription drugs and what do they cover?

There are no fees for Members that purchase from the marketplace other than standard shipping charges (*)

From licensed independent pharmacists just like you. Examples include:

Pharmacists with customers who move.

Pharmacists with medications that have recently lost their patent.

Pharmacists with customers who have changed their prescription.

Pharmacists with an overstock of prescription drugs.

Pharmacists dealing with less than ideal manufacturer package sizes.

Sellers are licensed neighborhood pharmacists from across the country who wish to minimize waste and see their prescription drugs end up in the hands of other independent pharmacists and their patients.

Are purchases made through MatchRX classified as wholesale transactions?

MatchRX takes pride in providing a secure and fully transparent medium for pharmacies to transact business directly with each other. MatchRX, however, does not engage in wholesale transactions. MatchRX merely provides a marketplace for a direct dispenser-to-dispenser sale of a de minimis quantity of drug for a “specific patient need” as defined by the federal Drug Supply Chain Security Act (“DSCSA”). The FDA in recent guidance (August 2017) has excluded these transactions from the definition of wholesale transactions. Moreover, MatchRX neither takes title to nor possession of a drug at any time. Therefore, any reference to VAWD (Verified Accredited Wholesale Distributor) by a third party is not applicable. Nevertheless, all pharmacies using the MatchRX marketplace are required to fully comply with the DSCSA.

As a best practice, we recommend buyers file all MatchRX invoices separate from wholesale invoices, and record the patient name on the invoice to demonstrate the purchase was for an identified patient.

You can use the QuickSearch feature and search for prescription drugs by:

Using the QuickSearch feature

You can also create a Wishlist of items you want to purchase when a member posts an item for sale. MatchRX will email you in the morning if one of your Wishlist items is posted and still available for purchase.

Are there any prescription drugs I won’t find on MatchRX?

Narcotic control prescription drugs and expired prescription drugs are not allowed in the marketplace.

How do prescription drug prices differ on MatchRX compared to WAC/AAWP pricing?

MatchRX consistently wants to bring our member’s value, so we require Sellers to price their prescription drugs below WAC pricing at the time of posting. If WAC pricing is not available, MatchRX uses AAWP to help determine the maximum price on a posting. WAC and AAWP pricing is provided by Medi-Span, an industry recognized national drug database. Sellers are free to set any price for their prescription drugs once they have dropped prices to at least 10% below WAC or 25% below AAWP pricing. After that, MatchRX does not attempt to regulate a Seller’s prescription drug prices. AAWP discounts may not apply to generic drug posting. Pricing may vary.

It is the Seller’s responsibility to abide by the MatchRX User Agreement and list prescription drugs in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal statutes and regulations.

Why are prescription drugs priced differently?

MatchRX is not the prescription drug(s) Seller; you are buying/selling overstocked prescription drug(s) from other independent pharmacists across the country. Individual sellers determine the sale price(s). Several factors come into play when pricing an overstocked prescription drug such as expiration date, quantity in stock, and condition of packaging. Our unique marketplace allows you to see all of the available prescription drug(s) at once, giving you the power to easily find the prescription drug(s) you want, in the quantity you need, at a discounted price.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for, just add the drug to your Wishlist and we’ll update you via e-mail every morning once that prescription drug is posted. Our postings are constantly updated.

How can I find information about a prescription drug, such as strength, quantity, form, and expiration date?

The information for each posting can be easily viewed in the marketplace. Once you find the NDC you are looking for: click on the photo, name, or view details in the marketplace menu to see additional information.

What is the Seller Rating?

The seller rating displays buyer satisfaction for that particular seller. Five stars = Excellent. If the seller is a new member and has no selling history, “No Sales History” will display in the rating section. When on the buyer confirmation screen confirming receipt of an order, you will be asked to rate the seller experience from one star (poor) to five stars (excellent). Buyers have 2-business days to confirm the order and rate the experience.

What are my payment options for buying/selling prescription drugs on MatchRX?

Monies are transferred between buyers and seller through bank-to-bank transactions using automated clearing house (ACH) processing. It’s the simplest, most secure, and cost efficient method to transfer funds. We do not accept credit cards, checks, money orders, or cash.

Why do I have to provide my bank account and routing numbers?

MatchRX uses Automated Clearing House (ACH) to transfer funds into your account on sales and to debit your account on purchases. It’s the simplest, most secure, and cost efficient method to transfer funds. We ask for a signed ACH form and check image displaying a valid bank routing and account number to ensure accurate processing. Images of starter checks are not accepted.

MatchRX credits your bank account for any amount due to you for sales and debits all payments due from you for purchases. This security measure helps protect against fraudulent charges. By providing this information, you are helping to make the MatchRX marketplace more secure.

Where are my prescription drugs after I order them?

As soon as the Seller confirms your order, you will receive an email that includes a FedEx tracking number. If your prescription drugs do not arrive by the expected delivery date, you can track the shipment thru FedEx, email customerservice@matchrx.com, or give us or call at 248-971-0909, or toll free at 877-590-0808.

Why does MatchRX only ship by FedEx?

FedEx tracks all shipments to ensure Sellers ship orders and Buyers receive them in a timely manner.

In short, integrating the MatchRX marketplace with FedEx tracking helps make excellent service to Buyers and Sellers possible.

Why do I have to confirm the receipt of an order in MatchRX?

As a buyer, it is important for you to let MatchRX know the drugs received are exactly what was ordered for track and trace purposes, and arrived in good condition. If there is an issue with the items received, the seller will not be paid until the issue has been resolved. Per MatchRX policy, Buyers are allowed two (2) business days from the FedEx delivery date to confirm receipt of the order. If a Buyer does not confirm within two (2) business days of receipt, MatchRX will assume the Buyer is satisfied and will credit the Seller’s account.

What are FedEx shipping fees and what do they cover?

FedEx Shipping fees start at $7.94 for standard ground service, depending upon where, how quickly, and the manner your prescription drugs are being shipped. When you order your prescription drug(s), MatchRX will automatically calculate the FedEX shipping cost at checkout based upon the class of service you select.

Typically yes, if purchased from the same Seller in a single order. The only exception would be when an item requires special handling, such as refrigerated or frozen items.

Why do I have to use FedEx Overnight when purchasing refrigerated/frozen prescription drugs?

Is transferring my overstock prescription drugs to other pharmacists legal in the state I practice?

Each state has it’s own statute and MatchRX operates only in those states which allow such sales. Please review your state rules and regulations regarding the transfer of prescription drugs from pharmacy to pharmacy. You agree to indemnify and hold MatchRX harmless from any claim asserted by a third party that involves, relates to, or concerns any of your actions or omissions on this Site, including but not limited to your breach of the User Agreement, or your violation of any law or the rights of a third party. When setting the sale price of your prescription drug(s), it is your responsibility to comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws, as well as statutes and regulations and the payment of any taxes.

If I own more than one pharmacy, do I need to register them separately?

Yes, each pharmacy must be listed separately, as every pharmacy has its own state license number. Delivering prescription drugs only to registered locations provides a secure transaction.

Why do I have to provide my bank account and routing numbers for ACH?

MatchRX uses Automated Clearing House (ACH) to transfer funds into your account on sales and to debit your account on purchases. It’s the simplest, most secure, and cost efficient method to transfer funds. We ask for a signed ACH form and check image displaying a valid bank routing and account number to ensure accurate processing. Images of starter checks are not accepted. We do not accept credit cards, checks, money orders, or cash.

MatchRX credits your bank account for any amount due to you for sales and debits all payments due from you for purchases. This security measure helps protect against fraudulent charges. By providing this information, you are helping to make the MatchRX marketplace more secure.

When will I receive payment for my prescription drugs?

We will credit your bank account through Automated Clearing House (ACH), and will process your payment within five (5) business days of the Buyer’s confirmation that the order was received.

You can view your sales order status at any time, go to Manage/Selling Activity.

How do I change my payment information?

When changing your bank account information, you’ll need to contact customer service and provide an updated cancelled check along with a new, signed Automated Clearing House (ACH) authorization form. Bank changes must be processed at least five (5) business days before the previous account is closed to prevent returned ACH charges.

What are the advantages of using MatchRX compared to using a reverse distributor for in-dated product?

At MatchRX you determine the sale price of your posted item.

Credit is transferred to your account within a week of sale, compared to 4-6 weeks or more with a reverse distributor.

It’s absolutely free to post as many items as you’d like.

Reverse distributors also charge 10% or more to handle all medications in addition to other charges for destruction of product.

How do I set prices for my prescription drugs?

There are two (2) ways to post your prescription drugs on MatchRX:

Fixed Price: The Seller sets a definite price for their prescription drug(s).

Declining Price: Based on the principle of market value, the Seller sets both a maximum and minimum price for the prescription drug. The prescription drug price will first appear at the maximum price and decrease incrementally every week for 10 weeks by 10% of the difference in the prices provided. This will continue until the prescription drug sells or the minimum price is reached, whichever comes first. For example, if a Seller posts a prescription drug on a declining basis at $500 maximum and $400 minimum ($100 difference), the price will decrease by $10 each week until the drug sells or the minimum price is reached.

You decide the price of the the prescription drug you are selling. MatchRX requires a minimum of 10% discount from the prevailing WAC price or 25% discount from the prevailing AAWP price. WAC and AAWP are determined by Medi-Span, an industry recognized national drug database. MatchRX does not determine WAC of AAWP. When setting a price, consider the sale price of other comparable postings, the prevailing WAC or AAWP price, the expiration date, as well as your costs for the prescription drug. AAWP discounts may not apply to generic drug posting. Pricing may vary depending on data provided by Medi-Span.

We cannot guarantee that your prescription drug(s) will sell. We DO NOT collect a fee of any sort if your prescription drug(s) does not sell. When selling a prescription drug(s), it is your responsibility to comply with all applicable local, state, federal and international laws, statutes and regulations.

The purpose of MatchRX is to provide independent pharmacists with the flexibility and economies of scale that larger pharmacy chains enjoy on a regular basis. We have established the discount to ensure value for each member, as well as creating incentive for more rapid transactions. AAWP discounts may not apply to generic drug posting. Pricing may vary.

How is my Seller Rating calculated?

Seller ratings are based on the last 30 completed sales. Five stars = Excellent. To maintain a high seller rating, make sure you follow these steps: 1) Update your postings as needed to ensure members are purchasing items that have not been dispensed since originally posted; 2) Fill orders within 24 hours – confirm the item(s) and quantities prior to placing in the shipping box; 3) Ship items properly – place cotton in open pill bottles, use a box to ship (not an envelope), and include enough packing material to ensure the item is not loose in the box; 4) Make sure FedEx scans the shipping label at the time of pick-up for guaranteed tracking. You can view your current seller rating by visiting the Manage tab.

Why does MatchRX provide stickers?

The MatchRX stickers are a convenient way for you to keep track of which prescription drugs on your shelves have been posted on the Site. Place one on each prescription drug you’ve posted, and then remove once it’s sold. If you dispense from a bottle marked with a MatchRX sticker, make sure you immediately update your posting to reflect the new quantity available.

I no longer have the prescription drugs I posted for sale. What should I do?

If in response to an order recently placed by a Buyer, click on order and make necessary adjustments. If the item is one of multiple items on the order, an account representative will contact you to confirm if the Buyer would like to purchase the remaining items. Repeated order modifications and cancellations may incur a penalty charge of the greater of 10% of the order or $25. If you just noticed that any particular item posted is no longer available, go to your postings and delete. Remember, the MatchRX stickers we supplied you will help keep track of inventory you have on the site.

When is my posting deleted?

Sellers Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) last updated on 06/01/2017.

DSCSA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the DSCSA & the purpose of the law?

DSCSA is a federal law and stands for the Drug Supply Chain Security Act, which is Title II of the Drug Quality and Security Act (DQSA). The DSCSA mandates a full supply chain traceability system from pharmaceutical manufacturer to pharmacy dispenser for prescription drugs being distributed in the United States. The law was signed and enacted by President Obama on November 27, 2013, replacing a 50-state patchwork of pedigree requirements with one federal traceability solution. The law is phased in over a ten (10) year period.

Are dispensers (independent and chain) required to be compliant under the law?

Yes. Anyone who is authorized to dispense prescription products to patients – including but not limited to pharmacies, clinics, hospitals, physicians, and long-term care facilities – is considered a dispenser and has certain product tracing obligations under the DSCSA.

Is an independent pharmacy considered an Authorized Trading Partner under the DSCSA?

Yes. The DSCSA defines Authorized, in the case of a dispenser, as having a valid license under State law.

What is a transaction for a ‘Specific Patient Need’ and how does it apply to MatchRX?

The term specific patient need is defined by the DSCSA as "the transfer of a product from one pharmacy to another to fill a prescription for an identified patient. Such term does not include the transfer of a product from one pharmacy to another for the purpose of increasing or replenishing stock in anticipation of a potential need." Click here and reference FAQ #4 from the FDA’s DSCSA website. Industry interpretation for Specific Patient Need includes situations in which a dispenser has a prescription in hand for an identified patient, a recurring prescription for an identified patient, or written/electronic notice from a provider that a prescription for an identified patient is forthcoming.

FDA draft Guidance document FDA-2017- D-1956 Industry Identifying Trading Partners Under the Drug Supply Chain Security Act expressly states that a wholesale distributor license is not required when a dispenser transfers a product to another dispenser for a specific patient need.
The National Community Pharmacy Association (NCPA) published in the February 2016 DSCSA Fact Sheet "The transfer of a product from one pharmacy to another (regardless of whether the two pharmacies are affiliated in any way) to fill a prescription for an identified patient is exempt from the definition of Transaction" within the DSCSA, and therefore not subject to the 3T requirement.
